Obituary
Mr. John Stephen Clarke of Lethbridge, beloved husband of Mrs. Denice Clarke, passed away at Chinook Regional Hospital on Tuesday, August 22, 2023, at the age of 94 years.
John was born on October 21, 1928 and was raised and educated in Lamont, Alberta.
In 1945, John pursued a military career as a cadet, but was not deployed as the war ended. John returned to Edmonton and trained as a telegraph operator and worked for the CPR at numerous locations throughout Alberta.
John met Denice Watts at his posting in Rimbey, Alberta and they were married on June 2, 1953. They went on to have three children and recently celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary.
John is survived by his wife Denice; children Ken (Linda) Clarke, Lorraine (Sergio) Giordano, Barbara (Darin) Rayburn; grandchildren Amy, Ian, Kevin, Madisen and Ainsley as well as his great-grandchild Easton. John is also survived by his sister Mary McWilliam and Eunice Couet and numerous nieces and nephew.
Because of railroad job cuts, John accepted a position at Martin Bros. Ltd. in Lethbridge in 1965 where he became General Manager shortly thereafter and retained that position until semi-retirement in 1987. John served his community by volunteering as a member of the Rotary Club, Elder of the Presbyterian Church, Royal Canadian Legion, Chamber of Commerce and Miner’s Library.
Retirement enabled John to enjoy his hobbies including taxidermy, fishing, hunting, camping, travel, with a special interest and passion for woodworking.
John cherished his time spent with family and friends and will be truly missed.
